SAD news for fans of BBC drama Call The Midwife as Miranda Hart has confirmed that she will not be returning for the new series.

Producers had previously said that the 43-year-old would be reprising her role as Camilla “Chummy” Fortescue-Cholmondely-Browne, however the much in-demand star says that she can’t fit it into her schedule.

Delivering the blow on Twitter, she wrote: “News: It’s with a heavy heart that having shared Chummy’s return to CTM, I’ve not been able to birth (pun) the schedule to make it work.”
